1. Friends cut time. I'm really sorry if it was your turn, guys. If I defriended you, one of these might be the reason:
→ Your account has been kind of dead for a while.
→ Your account is active, yeah, but I see no newer post lately, meaning you filtered me out and um. I guess that means you don't like me anymore?
→ I do like you, really, but there's something about your latest posts/comments that annoys me too much or reeks of arrogance, and telling you this would be too rude and might harsh your squee.
→ We have not talked in a long time, we've grown distant and strange.
→ I met you a few months ago and we never truly connected.
Um, I suppose we can discuss this, if you feel I made a mistake. Or if you weren't defriended but want to cut me, take the chance and do it now? Anyway, I rarely make flocked posts now so you're not missing anything if you wish to keep me. I use my flist more like a reading list, really.
2. Yuletide reveal! I wrote
Somewhere between stories, a The Last Unicorn fanfiction. It's Schmendrick/Molly, post-novel, and my usual "just keep talking, you idiots" brand of dialog-centric writing. Funny story: I had a plot planned when I got my assignment, but I had no time to pull it out and wrote metatastic fluff instead. But it's cool, because this was what my recipient wanted. Even if it's chaotic I'm happy with it and it even had some feedback/rec.
3. I had something else to say, but I'll leave it to another post.
